Modifications To Spousal Support

Modifications To Spousal Support In Illinois By A Rolling Meadows Family Law Attorney

If you have reason to believe that your spousal maintenance order should be changed, you should discuss this matter with a family law attorney as soon as possible. Whether the judgment can be changed may depend on factors such as the wording of the original judgment and timing. The judgment ordering spousal maintenance should stipulate whether it is reviewable and under what circumstances it may terminate.

Requested Changes To Alimony/Spousal Support Must Be Timely And Detailed

Timeliness matters in a spousal support modification. You will need to meet a deadline to petition a family law court for modification. In your petition, you should demonstrate to the court why you need more maintenance or why you should pay less.

Substantial changes in circumstances of either party after a divorce may justify modifications to spousal support. A substantial increase or decrease in the income of either or both parties may be a reason to petition a family law court to change the level of support.

Circumstances that normally terminate maintenance orders include cohabitation or remarriage of the party receiving support, or the death of either party.
